The meeting is scheduled before Thursday morning\u2019s funeral service for Bali at the Mississauga Sports and Entertainment Centre after the 29-year-old was struck and killed by a vehicle in Hearst, Ont., a small town on Hwy. 11 between Thunder Bay and North Bay, while assisting in an investigation.<\/p>\n

Bali a \u2018son of Brampton\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cTarun Bali\u2019s connection to Brampton is profound,\u201d Brown\u2019s statement said. \u201cHe was raised in our city after his family immigrated to Canada from India and he maintained strong family ties here throughout his life.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was, in many ways, a son of Brampton.\u201d<\/p>\n
To that end, Brown said his motion seeks to ensure that Bali\u2019s \u201clegacy of service and sacrifice is permanently recognized\u201d and that they work with the family to find a suitable park to honour him.<\/p>\n
The statement came after Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish said their council would also consider renaming Indian Gate Park in the city\u2019s south end in honour of slain Toronto Police Const. Marc Pinizzotto.<\/p>\n
